216th Street to 264th Street (Phase 2)

This phase of the Fraser Valley Highway 1 Corridor Improvement Program involves 10 km of improvements between 216th Street and 264th Street. It is currently under construction.

These improvements include:

• Widening the highway to accommodate eastbound and westbound high occupancy vehicle (HOV) and electric vehicle (EV) lanes in the median between the 216th Street and 264th Street Interchanges
• Building a new highway crossing at Glover Road to increase clearance over Highway 1, with the addition of 3 metre wide multi-use paths in both directions on the structure (opened spring 2024)
• Reconfiguring the existing 232nd Street Interchange and replacing the existing crossing to increase clearance over Highway 1, with the addition of 3 metre wide multi-use paths in both directions on the structure
• Replacing the existing CPKC railway crossing east of Glover Road to increase clearance over the highway
